Chapter 52: Visiting the Clubhouse
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ninth master did not expect such a hidden backstory. He immediately clapped his hands and laughed.
“I see. Yichen, this girlfriend of yours is really something…”
He was just about to compliment him when he heard Mu Hui said coldly to Lu Yichen, “Who are you? Do I know you?”
Lu Yichen’s entire body stiffened. He did not dare to look at the ninth master’s puzzled gaze. He clenched his teeth and warned, “Mu Hui, don’t be so petty.”
Mu Hui curled her lips mockingly and sneered, “Lu Yichen, when you slept with Ye Zhi, why didn’t you think that I was your woman then? You set me up to frame Fu Siye and almost sent me to jail. Why didn’t you say that I was your girlfriend then?”
She looked at Lu Yichen coldly and continued, “Why? Now that you want to cling onto the ninth master’s thigh, you can’t wait to get into a relationship with me? You’re really shameless. As expected, people who are despicable are invincible!”
“Mu Hui!”
After being pointed at and scolded in public, Lu Yichen’s face turned pale as he glared fiercely at Mu Hui.
“Do you have to continue causing trouble?”
After seeing that he had been pushed to this point but still refusing to admit the truth, Mu Hui could not help but admire Lu Yichen’s shamelessness.
“I finally know why you can survive for so long. People who are shameless are invincible in the world!”
Lu Yichen was so angry that he wanted to fight with Mu Hui, but he was stopped by the ninth master.
“Why are you angry with the little girl?”
The ninth master laughed heartily and just ignored their relationship. He motioned for someone to bring two contracts.
“Thanks to Mu Hui, I managed to save my life tonight. In return, I’ll transfer a part of the shares of this club to you, one share to each of you.”
Lu Yichen’s face was filled with ecstasy. His hands were trembling with excitement, but he still pretended to be polite.
“Ninth master, I’m so sorry!”
The ninth master did not say anything. He just forced Lu Yichen to accept it.
Mu Hui looked at the transfer of shares in front of her and felt that it was strange, but she did not show it.
Lu Yichen clearly did not save the ninth master like the original plot. Why would ninth master still give him the shares of the clubhouse like the plot?
Was the plot irreversible?
Were all her previous efforts done in vain?
The more Mu Hui thought about it, the uglier her expression became. Lu Yichen thought she was angry because he had also received shares. His eyes became even smugger.
“Since this will be your clubhouse in the future, I’ll show you around now.”
The ninth master got someone to arrange the tour and showed Mu Hui and Lu Yichen around the clubhouse.
Lu Yichen was in high spirits and his eyes were full of ambition.
Mu Hui was not very interested, but she noticed that the opposite side of the street seemed to be very lively.
“What’s that?”
She was quite interested, so the ninth master simply brought them over to take a look.
“Game Street. It’s especially for people to relax and have fun.”
The entire street was filled with all kinds of arcade games, shooting hoops, and other fun games. Mu Hui noticed that a group of people were gathered there not far away and immediately followed behind them curiously.
“Bounty game?”
Mu Hui found the name very interesting. The ninth master who stood beside her explained with a smile, “This game is very popular. It often comes up with some interesting questions. The winner will get the corresponding reward.”
Mu Hui was immediately interested. She stood on her toes and looked over. She realized that they were collecting names for a few paintings.
However, when she saw the paintings clearly, she was momentarily speechless.
Was this not the masterpiece of the world Master Monet?
Was there a need to collect names for this?
However, what made her feel even stranger was that the onlookers really did not seem to recognize that it was Monet’s work. They were very eager to provide the names one after another.
What was going on?
Mu Hui felt that something was wrong, but before she could figure it out, she heard a weak voice.
“Water lily, St. Rachael’s train station, Wild poppy.”
Mu Hui followed the voice and saw that it was a pet.i.te girl with fair skin.
The game owner glanced at her and praised her for giving the most perfect names. As she wished, she took the biggest prize and disappeared into the night with the prize money.
Mu Hui said softly, “So there are so many people here who don’t know about Monet’s painting?”
She only sighed casually and had no intention of getting a response.
However, she did not notice that the ninth master suddenly gave her a fierce glance, and his expression changed drastically.
After a long while, the ninth master came back to his senses and continued to show them around.
When Mu Hui did not notice, the ninth master turned his head and looked in the direction where the girl had disappeared.
His eyes were filled with cold murderous intent.
